"Ken’s Artisan Bakery is a pastry destination for a reason, but when it comes to the dish that is characteristic of the state, the Oregon Croissant fits the bill. A melange of marionberry and hazelnut cream — two Oregon icons in their own right — the croissant uses a flavorful Pacific Northwestern flour for an added nuttiness. It’s a combination of Portland tropes: local fruit and exceptional baked goods." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
